DR.. George s. Hull, ofCbambersburg, has
after a series of experiments, advanced a
theory that ice.cream poisoning is due to
chemical action which takes place in the
ice-cream freezer, and which dissolves the
zinc, demonstrating his theory by means
of an electrical instrument. He believes
that the peril lies in leaving the zinc pad
die in the freezer after the cream is made,
and that if this is not done there is no
danger.
